If it's a Dwarven hold. Perhaps they grow edible fungi. Or they might raise some type of underground livestock. They could hidden valuts with dried food. Oh, and underground rivers and lakes.

Humans can survive on protein from insects...
Myself, I sort of like the world-building idea that areas outside cities are so dangerous that everyone huddles into fortifications (even villages) at night. Lone homesteads only work if you have it regularly blessed to keep out the things that go bump in the night.
At the same time, blessings of the sun, nature and other gods boost yields significantly, up to modern-esque levels. But clearing the forest is way, way more dangerous, because the trees eat people, and the animals are worse.
There's a few things to keep in mind for food. Chickens are probably some of your highest yields for actual space required to keep them alive. That is until we get into things like insects.
Humans can survive on protein from insects, and the mass of insects you can versus the caloric output is pretty astonishing. As a bonus, edibile insects haven't changed that much in the last few hundred thousand years so regardless of your chosen level of technology the bugs are there waiting to be munched.

Assume your city has a 1 mile radius and you can exploit land within 5 miles of the edge of the city.How do you feed those cities?
From a military standpoint, the Human nations will not last long in such an environment. Being blind and having restricted movement, they are already on the verge of collapse.
